Kathleen McLaughlin is sensationally suing the major sandwich maker, claiming her ex-husband’s former employer were informed of his “sexual interest and activity with children” decades ago.

In new legal documents, McLaughlin claims the fast food firm was tipped off about Fogle’s behaviour as early as 2004.

The legal documents, filed on October 24 in Indiana’s Hamilton Superior Court, state Fogle allegedly “approached a young girl at a promotional event” asking for sex.

McLaughlin, who is the mother of Fogle’s two children, said she would not have married him had she known about his alleged paedophile acts.

Writing of the 2004 incident, the claim states: “Driven by sales rather than the safety of kids, Subway sent its then Senior Public Relations Manager to ask Jared and the franchise owner, rather than the victim, about the incident.

“Other than sending a public relations employee to ask the wrongdoer about the incident, Subway did nothing more in relation to this event or to otherwise more fully investigate the allegations.

“Subway did not thoroughly investigate the report and did not alert the authorities as they were legally required to do.”

Slamming the company, she added: “A responsible corporation would take immediate action when hearing of this behavior, even if it was only allegations.”

“A responsible corporation would take immediate action when hearing of this behavior.”

In 2008 the papers claim Fogle allegedly made comments about young girls to Cheryl Mills, a female Subway franchisee in Florida.

McLaughlin said Mills told then Subway CEO Jeff Moody she overheard Fogle saying he “really liked them young” and that he had had sex with minors aged between nine and 16.

When Mills told Moody of Fogle’s comments, he allegedly interrupted, saying: “Please don’t tell me any more. Don’t worry, he has met someone. She is a teacher and he seems to love her very much, and we think she will keep him grounded.”
